Part‑time custodian asks board why full‑time hire went to inexperienced candidate
Summary
Blaze McGonigal, a part‑time custodian, told the board he was not notified after applying for a full‑time custodian position and asked for an explanation of the hiring process; the chair advised him to contact district administration for personnel matters.
A part‑time custodian told the board he had applied for a recently filled full‑time custodian position but received no direct notification about the outcome.
Blaze McGonigal said he had worked part time in the district for about three years, applied for the full‑time opening and was surprised to learn from coworkers that he had not been selected. “I had also applied for that position... I had to be told by my coworkers today that I didn't get the position,” McGonigal said, asking the board to explain the hiring process. He also said the person hired appeared to lack custodial experience.
Board members declined to discuss personnel details in public and directed McGonigal to take the question to district administration. “My suggestion would be that you reach out to Mister Bonenberger, or Missus Velasity, on that issue. That would be addressed at the upper administrative level in terms of how the process works,” said Attorney Fitzgerald (responding during the public comment period). The board emphasized that personnel matters and disciplinary details are handled at the supervisory or administrative level.
